MILFORD — A city man is facing charges after police said he was found in possession of heroin and had a loaded BB gun in his vehicle.

Nicholas Goerig, 38, of Milford, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and having a weapon in a motor vehicle, police said. Goerig was held on a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on March 13.

On Monday, officers stopped a vehicle on Milford Point Road near Lansdale Avenue. An investigation led officers to arrest Goerig, who police said was in possession of heroin and a short cut straw — typical paraphernalia used with heroin.

Officers also found a loaded BB gun inside a backpack in a travel compartment of the vehicle, officials said.
